Lsst Friday, I booked the afternoon off from work to have a bit of girl time. I put on a flirty black chiffon skirt, plain white top, gray cardigan and 4inch heels. No wig, makeup or boobs. There was no mistaking me for trying to pass as a woman. I got into my car and set off to some of my favoerite dress stores. This season, there doesn't seem to be many items in my size, shape and style, but a girl has to try, doesn't she? The first store, I found four dresses to try on, but on my way to the fitting room, the comments started. "OMG, where did you get those shoes! I love them!" Right away, everyone in the store wss talking about them, mostly about how they just couldn't walk in them. Anyway, the dresses were a no-go, so it was off to the rest of me excursion. I admit, it was mostly social, as I just wanted to yak with my favorite SA's, who treat me more like a friend than a customer. Coming out of the last store, I paused at the curb to let a car pass before crossing to the parking lot. The car stopped, so I stepped off the curb. Suddenly, there was a honk and I looked up. The driver, who looked like an old man with his wife beside him, was giving a thumbs up signal??? There was some glare from his windshield, so it could have been something else. I didn't acknowledge it and kept proceeding toward my car. Criminy, I couldn't tell if he was being positive, negative, sarcastic or even threatening.
It reminded me of an earlier incident, where someone wolf whistled at me. I never saw who it came from, and I didn't look around. I just kept walking. I'm pretty sure I want nothing to do with someone who would do these things, as would most women who experience an unwanted advance. I felt creeped out and now I can't imagine how any woman appreciates that kind of attention. Which is a bit sad, because I sometimes see women who I would like to compliment for their outfits snf maybe ask where they bought, but don't want to be that creep
